The 7th/8th grade continued the trend Friday night, pulling out an exciting victory at the end.
With 10 seconds left, Jia Jun wrestled the ball away from someone on the other team and hit the game winning shot to give the 7th/8th graders a 16-14 win to start the season.
It was a low scoring affair for the 8th grade level, but the teams did manage to slowly trade buckets as neither team had much control of the game.
From the free throw line, the boys shot 4-of-13, a very unflattering 30 percent.
Edzon had a game high 6 points and Matthew scored 4 points.
In his first year playing basketball, Jia Jun has shown a lot of skill for a basketball rookie. He played a handful of tournament games before Friday night and has shown great improvements in a very short period of time.
"He hustles really hard," said coach 7th/8th grade (1-0) coach Derek of Jia Jun. "I can count on him to go after every loose ball."
Jia Jun scored 4 points, including the game winner and Vince chipped in with 2 points.
Jackie, Alex and Benjiman all played in their first games of CYO basketball.
And they'll get to play their second on Sunday when the 7th/8th graders go for win number two.
